2. A tool of the character described comprising a shank having a longitudinal bore,

resilient bushing-engaging members at one j end of said shank, a rod slidably'mounted in said bore and having amovable head located within the space enclosed by said bushingengagmg members, means limlting movement of said head within the space enclosed by said I members and means for exerting a pulling tension on said shank.

, 3. A tool of the character described comprising av shankprovided at one end with a plurality of resilient bushing-engaging arms,

. a member adjustably mounted in the space enclosed by said arms to control the extent of inward movement of the arms, movement limiting means for maintaining said member within said space, and means for exerting a pulling tension on said'shank.

4. A tool of the character described comprising an abutment member having an opening, a threaded shank having one end extended through said opening, resilient bushing engaging members positioned at one end so that they may be passed through a bushing to engage the far end thereof, a head limiting in-v ward movement of sald members, and means.

limiting the movement of the head'to the space enclosed by said members and a nut engaging the threaded portion of said shank and positioned to reactagains't said abutment member.

' 5. A tool of the character described comprising a shank, a bushing-engaging member slidably mounted upon said shank and having expansible, arms, said shank having an expanding member reciprocably mounted within the space surrounded by said arms, and

means for imparting longitudinal movement to said bushing engaging member and said shank so as to maintain sald expanding member in its arm expanding position during the,

bushing withdrawal operation.

In testimony whereofwe have hereunto set our hands.
